The upcoming eighth installment into the SAW franchise continues to build the momentum and keeping fans eager to see what lurks ahead as SAW: LEGACY is set to arrive this fall.

With that in mind, it has been confirmed that MPAA has given SAW: LEGACY an R-rating for “Sequences of grisly bloody violence and torture, and for language”.

The film takes place ten years after the death of Jigsaw.

The new SAW film will pick up a decade after the death of the Jigsaw during the investigation of a new string of murders that fit his modus operandi. Composer Charlie Clouser has said the new SAW is a "reinvention" of the saga , adding that:

"the Spierig brothers can deliver a fresh take on the material that will establish a new story line and new characters that can carry the saga into the future."

Michael and Peter Spierig direct from a script written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger.
